Why Choose Us

We understand that selecting a secondary school is a significant decision for any family.

Naturally, you want a place where your child will thrive – feeling happy, supported, and motivated to reach their full potential.

Here are some of the reasons families tell us they choose our Academy:

• We’re a close-knit school where every student is recognised and valued as an individual.
• Our staff are friendly and accessible, making it easy for you to stay informed about your child’s progress.
• Ofsted has rated us ‘Outstanding’, and our students consistently achieve strong academic results. But we also place great importance on character development and instilling positive values.
• Our school community is inclusive, welcoming, and diverse – creating a safe and respectful environment for all.
• Students genuinely enjoy being here, learning in a calm and supportive setting where expectations are clear and fair.

The best way to find out if Harris Academy Peckham is the right fit for your child is to visit us. Join one of our Open Events (held each autumn) or arrange a tour at any time of year and discover what makes our school unique. We look forward to welcoming you.
